Mike McGavick on Energy & Oil

Drill ANWR but also explore coal, nuclear, & biofuel

America needs a broad-based strategy for reducing its dependence on foreign oil. We must consider variety of domestic options for producing energy, including safely using nuclear power, devising cleaner options
for coal use, developing the new frontier of biofuel, and expanding domestic oil resources-including ANWR.

Keep existing dams to maintain clean hydro power

The dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers should not be removed. The hydro-electric power and irrigation capabilities provided to the region are too important to our economy to consider removal of the dams.
The benefits of our system of dams are evident: clean and efficient hydro power lighting 8 million homes while turning a desert basin into a literal breadbasket to the world.
